---- Chapter 2 Keith was no stranger to the rumors, having seen my feed filled with cozy snaps with various guys. He stood by the window for a bit before he commented, "This guy's the one who looks most like me? Guess that's why he's lasted the longest." His voice was icy, a riddle wrapped in frost, and the room fell silent, no one daring to chime in. Right then, I shooed Daniel off and, feeling a sudden pull, our eyes locked-mine from below, his from above. My heart skipped a beat. Without a second thought, I climbed the stairs and swung open the VIP room door. "Excuse me, folks, I need a sec to chat with my brother." The room's eyes flicked to Keith, and with his silent nod, they scattered like leaves in the wind. Then, it was just Keith and me, alone in the quiet of ---- the room. In the dimly lit room, I could not take my eyes off Keith. I was dying to see how much he had changed since the last time we were together. Keith was slouched against the window, looking bored.

Keith just shrugged and smirked. "Do what you want with the photos." Isnatched up the phone, swinging it with a cheeky grin. "You're about to be the big alpha and mark 'Miss Perfect Match'. If you think I won't leak these during your big moment, think again, my dear brother." Keith gave mea long, hard look, then cracked a smile. "Okay, you've got two months." I was floored. I thought I would have to twist his arm, but he folded easily. Too bad I did not have much time left. I did not want to die with regrets, so to get Keith back, I had stooped to that.
